Diagnostic Instructions
Circuit/System Description
The hazard flashers may be activated in any power mode. The hazard switch is integrated into the driver information display panel. When the hazard switch is placed in the ON position, the radio communicates via serial data with the body control module
(BCM) requesting the hazard lamps be activated. The BCM supplies battery voltage to all four turn signal lamps in an ON and OFF duty cycle. When the hazard switch is activated, the BCM sends a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) requesting
both turn signal indicators to be cycled ON and OFF.
